oof... realized we hadn't heard from someone in a while, checked their page, it looks like they followkicked us, probably when i asked them to change their display name a few days ago because it was a mild mysophobia stressor

i don't... know if that was a bad thing but i wish they'd at least said something

re: social - 

@Felthry I don't think so. It sounded perfectly reasonable when I happened to see you ask.

re: social - 

@Felthry I think the etiquette is probably similar to CW requests: if you don't know that they'd want you to tell them - either because they know and care about you or because they've made it clear that they want to accommodate most requests - then there's a chance they'd be upset at your bothering them about it.

I'm sorry it played out this way.

Also, please let us know if we pick a display name or avatar that's a problem for any of you - we don't want to create issues for anyone.

@Felthry that's fair. We still mean it, though.
